Thread: RR Strings/Variables Plugin [ Now in RRExtended ]

FYI, if using a newer RR ver, don't use the "X,xxx" standard to load ext plugins, at some point it will be completely removed.

2)Placed X,RRextended in my menu.skin
3)In the gps.skin I have:

Code:

RRStrings_Strlrepl;GPSSPD;km/h;;myvar
L,356,489,82,54,162,174,11,8,"Arial","$myvar$","LEFT"

but nothing happens.

I've tried different commands but I still haven't figured it out...

I'm really suprised that none of the other seasoned RR users caught this, really...
Couple of things:
#1
You can not use a cmd like that in a skin file. Its a cmd to be executed and is why you get no results.

#2
To show a variable in a label you need to use the format "[HL]=[/HL]$xxxx$" (L,356,489,82,54,162,174,11,8,"Arial","=$myvar$"," LEFT")

#3
Also, the only way to do what your trying to do currently would be to correct the improper variable syntax and use a timer to run the strings cmd so that the variable will be constantly updated.

I have now seen enough users that would like some of the standard lables to also be used w/o the descpription part..ie "mp/h,km/h,%" ect and will be creating a way to specify in the label tip, to not add the desc to it.

See #1 above.

And using your exact posed code above works, as an executed cmd.

No, it doesn't matter where it's register at.
